5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, 3 Mar 2005
I love this book. It gives both the basics on how to breastfeed and also lots of more general parenting information. It also looks at the comman and not so comman problems and gives helpful and reassuring advice. Although quite American sometimes the basic mother baby relationship is the same the world over! I have referred to my copy at least once a week over the past 20 months of breastfeeding.

I would recommend it to everyone wanting to breastfeed or wanting to know more about breastfeeding

5.0 out of 5 stars I would thoroughly recommend this book, 11 Jan 2006
By MicT (Northamptonshire) - See all my reviews
I bought this book even though I am on my 3rd child!! Have breast fed both times before, but had to go back to work early both times, so didn't feed much beyond this and wanted to get some perspective on feeding beyond the first few months.

I would recommend this book whether you are on your first or subsequent child, as it really does have something for everyone. Would be a really nice present for a mum to be to help prepare for breast feeding too.

I found the bits on how breastfeeding works and how amazing breast milk is really fascinating and also very supportive, as I have had a few ambivalent comments and was able to say - "aha, but..."

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive book, but rather American, 15 Jan 2007
By J. Cross (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like this book but if you read it in one go it will make you sick! It's too saccharin American and a bit too earth mother for me. That said, the questions I had on breastfeeding were answered in this book. Use it as a reference textbook and it's fantastic. Oh and bear in mind that whilst breastfeeding can be absolutely awful to begin with... those sickly sweet comments I was moaning about become true about 3 months down the line when you and your baby have got the hang of it. It really is worth perserving with. Buy this book, but more importantly find out where your local LLL group is and make contact with them when you are pregnant. Happy Breastfeeding!!
